Chapter 10
“Wenping…!”
Upon hearing this, Su Yurou stood on her tiptoes excitedly and whispered softly into Xu Wenping’s ear. Her rejection was obvious, and she couldn’t help but hold Xu Wenping even tighter.
Xu Wenping only smiled lightly, turned around, and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Yurou, I’m here!”
“This…”
Su Yurou was obviously still in a dilemma, but when Manager Wang saw the expressions of the two, his smile became even wider. He laughed out loud, and the entire hall laughed along with him, as if they were laughing at Xu Wenping’s overestimation of his own abilities.
Manager Wang mocked, “I really don’t know where you got your courage from, kid. But since you dare to bet… Of course I dare to agree. Since you bet on cooperation, then I bet that my Imperial Corporation will definitely not cooperate with Su Yurou!”
When Manager Wang spoke the last sentence, he emphasized each word, declaring his authority as the host. The voice fell, the other people all heaved a sigh of relief.
Another competitor was missing, and it was the strongest competitor!
“However, since it’s a bet, then of course there must be some rewards. If anyone loses, how about kneeling down, kowtowing, and calling the other party daddy?” Manager Wang smiled gently.
Seeing Manager Wang’s confident look, Xu Wenping just lowered his head and laughed. Then, he said softly, “Deputy Manager Wang, have you read too many novels? Kneel down and kowtow? If you do this kind of thing too many times and it doesn’t hurt your muscles or bones, what’s the point?”
Manager Wang frowned and suppressed his anger. He said coldly, “Then what do you think?”
Xu Wenping looked left and right, and then he had a plan in his mind. He smiled slightly and said, “I think there are at least ten tables of people here tonight, including your lackeys and the bosses of Jin Hai City?”
After a slight pause, Xu Wenping shouted, “Waiter!”
“Sir!”
“How much is the most expensive bottle of wine here?”
The waiter was already waiting at the side. When he heard this, he was surprised. Then, he smiled softly and said, “Sir, our most expensive wine is Louis 13. It’s from France and costs 520,000 yuan.”
“520,000… It’s barely passable!”
When Manager Wang saw Xu Wenping’s actions, he frowned and said, “Brat, don’t waste time. What are you trying to do?”
Xu Wenping smiled and said, “Then let’s do it this way, and don’t say too much. If we lose, please treat everyone here. According to the calculation of ten tables, one bottle of wine per table, how about it?”
Manager Wang raised his eyebrows. He was shocked by the value of the ten bottles of wine. Even if he was the manager of the Imperial Corporation, this money was equivalent to his annual salary for a year. How could he not feel heartache when he spent it all at once?
But then his expression eased. The entire cooperation project was controlled by him. How could Xu Wenping have a chance to win?
Manager Wang nodded and smiled. “Of course, there’s no problem with this. However, you’re an unknown kid. How can I believe that you can take out so much money?”
“I…”
Just as Xu Wenping was about to speak, Su Yurou gritted her teeth and said softly, “If Wenping loses, I’ll give you the money! Deputy Manager Wang, you can trust me, right?”
Su Yurou’s eyes were firm.
Initially, she was still a little hesitant. However, when she saw Xu Wenping’s aura, which seemed like he was willing to submit to anyone, but he was essentially protecting her, Su Yurou’s mind spun. At this moment, if she didn’t stand up, how inhumane would she be?!
Su Yurou’s sudden appearance surprised Deputy Manager Wang. At the same time, a trace of hatred and jealousy flashed across his eyes.
“Hehe… Since you want to die together, then I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Deputy Manager Wang coldly took out his phone. After dialing the number, he said softly, “Mr. Zhao, yes, it’s me! Was the Su Yu Corporation on the list of people we were willing to work with?”
“Good! Immediately dissolve the Su Yu Corporation and inform everyone on the phone that the CEO of the Su Yu Corporation doesn’t have to attend our bidding meeting!”
“Manager Wang, but…”
“No buts!”
Manager Wang hung up the phone.
Some of the people in the room looked on coldly, while others were sneering. After hanging up the phone, Manager Wang had a calm smile on his face as he picked up his wine glass and took a sip, as if he was waiting for Su Yurou to fail.
Su Yurou also felt dizzy. She held the phone, her palms sweating, and prayed in her heart, ‘Please don’t ring, please don’t ring.’
Unfortunately, her prayers did not seem to be heard by God.
Three minutes later, Su Yurou’s phone rang.
Su Yurou’s entire body trembled, and her delicate body trembled. She fell into Xu Wenping’s arms weakly.
Deputy Manager Wang’s smile gradually deepened as he said indifferently, “You guys were the ones who suggested the bet. Why don’t you dare to pick up the phone now?”
Looking at Su Yurou’s pale expression, Xu Wenping reached out and touched her little face. He said gently, “It’s okay, just pick it up. What if they call to cooperate?”
Su Yurou took a look. It was indeed a call from the Imperial Corporation.
“Pfft… Kid, you’ve done a pretty good job when it comes to fantasizing.”
“The bidding hasn’t even started yet. Who do you think has the right? Will the Imperial Corporation cooperate with President Su?”
Manager Wang sneered.
Under everyone’s scrutinizing gaze, Su Yurou was determined to die. Finally, she picked up the phone and turned on the speaker. She said calmly, “Hello, I’m Su Yurou from the Su Corporation.”
“Hello, President Su.”
“I am Huang Shanchuan, the general manager of the Imperial Beauty Project. The reason I called you this time is because we have verified the qualifications of the Su Yu Corporation and ensured that you have the strength and ability to cooperate with our Imperial Corporation. Therefore, we hope to sign an agreement with you regarding the exclusive distribution rights of our latest skincare products in Jin Hai City.”
“I wonder if you have any intentions?”
Su Yurou blinked her beautiful eyes twice and raised her head to look at Xu Wenping. This time, she looked at Xu Wenping. His gaze was gentle and calm, as if he had already expected everything to happen.
Su Yurou suspected that she had misheard. She lowered her head and said submissively, “Hello… I didn’t hear it clearly. Do you mean that Imperial Beauty is willing to sign a distribution agreement with our Su Yu Corporation?”
“Yes, President Su. We’ve finished our inspection. If it’s convenient for you now, I’ll send you the electronic agreement immediately. As long as you sign on your phone, our agreement will take effect. We can discuss the specific distribution details later.”
On the other side of the speaker button, the man’s voice was gentle and calm.
However, at this moment, the entire banquet hall was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
Manager Wang was also stunned on the spot and did not react!
